the question will again be,ing what will boehner do? earlier this week, he indicated he was open to bringing up the senate bill. then yesterday, he again tried to rally his troops in favor of chairman's original proposal that's going nowhere. speaker boehner told his members to get behind the mick ca bill because it bears their stamp. well, this senate bill bears a bipartisan stamp and i just hearding that speaker boehner has now said that he wants to pass the senate bill or something close to it. he should stick to that commitment and get it done right away. last time the speaker tried to spurn a bipartisan deal on a must pass bill, he came to regret it. he should remember the lesson of the payroll tax cut debate and not repeat his mistake. whenever he lets a small group on the hard right dictate what he should do, he loses. and america loses. and bipartisanship loses. and we hope he's learned that lesson. it's clear he's wrestling with it, not only in his own mind but publicly in his varying statements. there's only one right path. an

for example, john boehner. how did things go for you trying to get in to see the speaker of the house? >> we've heard speaker boehner repeat, after continuous mass shootings in our country, that talking about mass changes to our laws would be inappropriate at this time. so during the week that begins with the fifth anniversary of virginia tech and ends with the 13th anniversary of columbine, the two probably most infamous shootings in our country's history, john boehner was unable to meet with us this week because he was too busy. so my question remains, when would be an appropriate time, mr. speaker, to talk about this? because 32 americans are killed every day. following your logic, there will never be a time to talk to us, and that's just unacceptable. >> when the virginia tech massacre happened and you felt that outpouring of sympathy nationally, did you expect we're going to be able to do something about this? >> when i learned what laws we needed to change, how simple.
